CLARKSVILLE. Tenn – . It may be July, but that doesn't mean it's too early to look at college football.

On Monday, the Ohio Valley Conference 2015 Media Day provided a perfect reason to get an early jump on conference comparisons, early standings and a quick look at what will be key points for Austin Peay State University's 2015 campaign as the Governors try to capitalize on last year's the losing-streak-ending win against Murray State for a winning season.

•Multiple arms: APSU's quarterback situation is no clearer than it was the past two seasons, with Mickey Macius, Trey Taylor and Darrien Boone all vying for action. All three quarterbacks received playing time last time and showed some the ability to start, but all three lacked consistency. "That's been a little bit of a frustration for our team, that we have some talented players that play quarterback for us but their consistent level of performance has just been up-and-down, up-and-down," coach Kirby Cannon said. "Teams draw a lot of its personality from the quarterback, so we would like to have a guy that leaves no doubt as who our best quarterback is, but until somebody steps up and shows us that I'm not afraid to play multiple guys."

•Youthful Govs: Now into Cannon's second recruiting class, Austin Peay is still made up predominately of underclassmen. Thirty-six sophomores return to the roster this fall backed by as many as 40 new additions to the lineup. The 2015 signing class has a sizable number of offensive linemen to bolster the depleted bunch. "If two or three of the newcomers can give us something, then we've got enough guys coming back that there is nobody on our schedule that we can't compete with and beat," Cannon said. The third-year coach's push to rebuild had some success last year, with 57.2 percent of Austin Peay's receptions coming from the hands of freshmen.

•Rule changes: This fall the OVC will be playing under additional rules. The NCAA's Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved nine rule changes including those regarding overbuilt facemasks, warm-up time, clock resets by referees if the ball is not ready to be snapped at the 25-second mark and up to eight officials allowed to oversee a single game. All FBS/FCS teams will play by these new rules.
